Framed pen and ink over gesso #2

A quick share today of the second of my pen and ink over gesso media boards which I have mounted in a deep Ikea frame but reversed it to look more like a shadow box. If you missed the first one you can see it here.


Again I have used a Tando Creative media board .....


.... and black sharpie pen ...


.... with DecoArt media acrylics to give me the light colour wash.





I really like the quirkiess of putting the art in back to front , it really works for me.



Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful week.
